To master thin strip cutting with your ROCKLER 36833 Thin Rip Tablesaw Jig, follow these steps for safe and accurate results. First, always ensure the jig is securely locked in the miter gauge slot before starting your table saw to prevent kickback. This jig is designed to be used with your table saw fence; make sure it's properly positioned. Next, install a zero-clearance insert in your table saw to minimize the risk of kickback. Position the jig on the infeed side of the blade, at least 2 inches away from the blade. Always use a push block or push stick to keep your hands a safe distance from the blade. Verify that all blade guards and splitters are correctly in place. To set up the jig for your desired cut, position it in the miter slot to the left of the blade so that the bearing guide just touches the left side of the saw teeth. Use the jig's scale, marked in 1/16" and 1/8" increments, to set your desired rip cut width. Then, slide the jig in front of the throat plate, at least 2 inches from the blade, and tighten the appropriate mechanism to lock the setting. Place your stock against the fence, adjust until it just touches the bearing guide, and lock the fence down. Now, make your rip cut using the jig. Remember to consult the latest ROCKLER instruction manual for complete safety guidelines and warnings.
